We onlyy needed a programme as a souvenir of the game and to see who was playing for the oppos. Despite the difference in heights, at one point Dickie Rooks out jumped Toshack to win a header. On a sadder note this was to be Gerry Sharpe's final season due to that tackle / physical assault in January. Please correct if wrong, but the following season did Cashley replace Gibbo in goal? Gordon Parr also departed after 18 years and moved to Waterford. They then won the Irish league, so after all that time as being steady rather than spectacular for City, there he played in the European Champions Cup in 72/73.

Cash appeared towards the end of 70/71 (played 11 games). In 71/72 Gibbo was still in the squad but only played 11 games (mid-season) and Cashley played the rest. The following season Gibbo had gone and Len Bond was the backup for Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these lads were part of about 50 of us who would hire our own coach (Turners) and travel away for a bit of a laugh. We all looked after each other with no real harm done and all part of what was going on at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
